Syald took the small snack handed by Bai Dong and ate and drank it in a big gulp, looking like a greedy child, completely different from his previous image.

Ever since his mother's death, he has vowed to be a strong man because he is proud enough to have new knowledge and a broader worldview that no one else in this world has. This battle is bound to fail, but he knows how cruel the world is, and the power is not earned by begging, but by his own efforts.

He read every letter that Bai Dong shot at the head of the city, and a few times he almost couldn't hold back and wanted to meet this Bai Zi, and the knowledge he could get from his mother told him that now is still the best time! He must show a better side in order to make this white son look the other way, so as to strive for the greatest benefit.

When he came to see Bai Dong this time, Sylde was originally going to surprise the famous Bai Zi, so that he would willingly take himself to see Yingquliang in order to strive for the greatest interests of the Xi family; To fulfill his mother's instructions, return to the beautiful West, and get the knowledge and wisdom he deserves in the Lycion Academy, the West Family is his biggest hole card.

In preparation for this day, he studied desperately every moment, seizing every opportunity to establish his prestige among the warriors and slaves of the Western family; On the day of Wei Ying's large-scale siege of the city, he could have gathered the warriors and slaves of the Western Family one step faster, but he deliberately delayed the time, just to stage a 'Jedi counterattack' at a critical moment and establish the supreme authority in the Western Family!

During the eight-day battle, there was not a single error in his command, and now the soldiers and slaves of the Western family followed him. As long as he said a word, he could open the city and surrender to Lao Qin. Even if those remnants of the descendants of the Western family will lose their heads because of this. But when he felt the time had come. And when he played himself as a calm and strong young hero to negotiate with Bai Dong, he found that the secret he had kept for more than ten years was nothing in front of others, and he ripped off his bottoms ~ pants with just a few words

'If you can't be a tough negotiator, be a naïve child, so that your enemies will relax'

The sweet muffins of the Bai family were very satisfying to Syrd, who was now a naïve teenager who was eating something good he had never seen before. While his eyes were rolling, he pondered how to deceive Bai Dong to get the most out of it.

Now that the West House is his capital, the more power he remains, the more likely he is to fulfill his promise to his mother - 'When the sun is shining on the Aegean Sea, he will return to his homeland like the heroic Odysseus'. But Odysseus relied on the mercy of the gods, but he didn't need anyone's mercy, he only relied on his own strength!

'Good boy' Syald seemed to be completely guided by Bai Dong, greedily ate exquisite snacks, and began to tell about his mother's past experience, to Bai Dong and Nie Zhu's surprise. It's actually a beautiful love story, just like a lot of love stories. It didn't end well, and it was a bit bizarre.

Syalde's mother's name was Henna, a healthy and lively beautiful girl with brown-red hair, and the youngest daughter of an Athenian consul. She was naturally intelligent, skilled in painting, poetry, and music, and fascinated all men under the age of fifty in Athens

As if to prove this, Sylde gently hummed the song his mother had taught him, which was said to have been created by her mother, with a strong Western classical music quality.

When Henna was twenty years old, her father chose the son of the chief general as her fiancé among countless suitors; But Henna fell in love with her handsome chief of the guard, so the two brave young men staged a 'elopement' scene

The captain of the guard was a capable young man, and when he eloped with Henna, he even took his fifty-man guard with him. It's a pity that he forgot that this was an era of frequent wars, and soon after leaving Athens, they encountered the army of Artaxerxes II, and the handsome captain of the guard failed to stage the myth of the three hundred heroes of Sparta, and the two hundred Persian soldiers made him give up his love and slipped away like a rabbit, leaving a stunned henna.

Heartbroken, Henna took the initiative to enter the ranks of the Persians, and her composure and aristocratic temperament immediately attracted the attention of the Persians, who quickly judged her identity from what she was carrying.

If it had been Persia under Xerxes I, she would have been treated with high courtesy, and as long as her father had to pay 10,000 gold coins, the Persians would escort her home. Unfortunately, at this time, the Persian Empire had turned from prosperity to decline, the country was in chaos, the centralization system had become nominal and the overseers of the provinces had become small warlords, and the Persian army that captured Henna was precisely a rebellious army that had just been defeated in the Battle of Hippo, and they secretly brought Henna to Central Asia and locked her in a dungeon, just looking for an opportunity to sell it for a good price.

Probably with a buyer, Henna spent thirty days in the dungeon when a hundred-strong Persian army began to escort her eastward. Henna didn't know where she was going, but she had lost even her most precious love, even if the Persians sent her to the mythical underworld.

It is clear that her buyer is in Huaxia, but this mysterious buyer does not seem to have any fate with Her Royal Highness Henna. When the Persians were about to enter China, countless Qiang warriors appeared, and they killed all the Persians, preparing to burn this beautiful female devil at the stake and sacrifice it to their god Baishi. Fortunately, money seemed to be more powerful than the White Stone Heavenly God, and Xi Qimu, who happened to meet him, took a fancy to Haina at a glance, and then bought her with a hundred Qin Yuan yuan.

What makes Bai Dong most curious in the whole story is the Chinese 'buyer', the Chinese people of this era should know nothing about the far west, could it be that they had contact with the Persian Empire at this time? It seems that there is no such record in the history books of later generations, but since he has come to this era, there is time to verify.

After telling his mother's story, Syald looked at Bai Dong with blank eyes: "I am a poor child who has never even seen my grandfather, and when my mother died, I promised her that she would definitely return to Greece." But to do this, I need the help of the West Family, so you will definitely help me, right? ”

"Don't pretend to be pathetic to me, boy. In order to establish absolute prestige in the Western Family, how many Western family members actually died because of you, but now they say that they want to keep the Western Family? What I can promise you is to change the Zhujiu clan to the Yisan clan, so that many of the children of the Xijia side branch can be preserved, although not all. ”

"There are still 2,000 elite warriors and tens of thousands of slaves in the west, and if you want to attack, you will have to sacrifice at least 5,000 people."

Syald bargained cautiously: "My request is actually not high, if the Qin State agrees to only kill the descendants of the Xi family, I will open the city and surrender." ”

"Even if you agree to your request, the Qin State will take back the fiefdom of the Xi family, deprive the Xi family of their titles, and demote all the children of the Xi family to concubines. Do you think that such a Western family can help you return to Athens? It's so naïve, even the Western family in its heyday is difficult to do, unless the king is willing to use the power of the whole country to help you, do you think this is possible? ”

Bai Dong glanced at the kid with a smile: "But if you give me ten years, I may be able to help you." But I am a very selfish person, you have no relatives with me, why should I help you? ”

Syald rolled his big black and bright eyes, stared at Bai Dong for a long time, and suddenly stood up respectfully: "Please teach me, sir!" "This mixed-race boy has learned Chinese etiquette quite well.

"Forget for a moment what your mother said about the beautiful country, it was just wishful thinking on her part. In fact, the Aegean Sea also has wind and waves, and the current Greek city-states are even more insecure, even if you go back, there are ninety percent of them likely to die in the war. Be my student first, and I'll send you back at the right time, or may we meet your admirer, Mr. Aristotle?" ”

Bai Dong smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "As for the Xi family, I will try to go to the king's front to intercede and keep all the side branch disciples." With their support, those remnants of the descendants should not be able to turn up any storms. ”

"Syald has seen sir!"

Before Bai Dong's words fell, Sylde had already knelt respectfully in front of him and bowed to his teacher. (To be continued......)
